What the heck is on his mind now!?

  New Blog, Same Format, Staying up to Date....I Hope

  I never use this thing.  People know me on the forums enough to not need to read this damn thing.  However I find myself recently wanting to keep a Journal even if no one reads it to have a personal refrence of what the hell im doing in Gaming and Writing.
  
  1 Big thing I plan to do over the next year is Write a Book,  I have had this book in planning and years,  Why?  Im a Writer and I want to express myself.  The one problem however after talking to so many people I know in Publishing through Work, is that Fantasy never sells anymore unless established and people know what they are looking for. 
  
  I have a serious gift for writing, I have this freaking Novel completly jotted out to Write,  But I have no Motivation because of this stupid factor.  Then Something Dawned on me that could actually work.
  
  Neverwinter Nights 2.  A new engine that is so much more advanced from the First, A real party System, More Hardcore AD&D, and last but not least as playing it really feels like your playing Baldur's Gate, or Planescape Torment again.  And with the Modding Success the First Neverwinter Nights enjoyed with so many Modules Creating Career's for quite a few people out there in the Writing/Gaming Community, Why not give it a shot?
  
  The Toolset can be used with Ease and you can use it to create ANYTHING you bloody hell want even an entire game in on itself.  So,  I can take my Novel Notes, Jot them down into the Toolset and create a nice Interactive Novel for People to enjoy.
  
  Worth a Shot?  Sure,  Nothing probably will happen, however catching the eye of someone....Is it possible?  Perhaps.
  
  The only Obsticle now with it, is the fact that It would easily take me a good year to Write this.  Patience, Ambition, and Dedication is what is greatly needed if I am to Accomlish this goal.  Of course I need to Complete Neverwinter Nights 2 first to get a finished feeling of the game and see just exactly how everything can do that can give one idea's on how to handle things properly with the Toolset.  So quite literally this project may not start for awhile until im ready to do so.
  
  Im Rambling on,  but as I said this thing is for me to Read and remind myself of what the hell im doing and where im at.  Read it if you want........I guess I could use Feedback on the idea.
  
  What are your thoughts of taking years of work and throwing it unto a NWN2 Module?

  Marlies Woes

  As I said I was at the Marlies game last night after the game was moved up a day due to the power outage.  It was a good game,  Lots of action, hitting ect..  very close too but the Marlies just could not get by the Griffins in time.
  
  Leeb scored with about 2 minutes left in the game to Tie it up but less than a min later the Griffins Got a Lucky shot by Aubin to win the game 3-2 without forcing overtime.  Not a very good way to end the evening espeshally when it took us almost 40min to tie the game up just to loose it a minute later.
  
  Great Atmosphere though and everyone had a good time with the game moved to the ACC.  Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment gave everyone a free Marlies T-Shirt as an apology for the Power Outage at the Ricoh the night before.
  
  I plan on playing Suikoden V tonight.  More on that tonight or tomorrow.

  Let's Start Again.

  Been Awhile Sinse I have blogged and Im going to start doing it again.  Recently what have I been up to?
  
  I purchased Final Fantasy Advent Children on DVD and im actually quite shocked at how well done the English Dub is.  Very professional and is actually insanely good to watch in both tracks,  so anyone who is curious as to how it sounds trust me,  no worries its fantastic.
  
  Right now im playing MLB 2k6 on 360,  There have been Reports of the game having Issues with Crashing and other game bugs and every single person is experiencing this......Except me.
  
  Xbox 360 to me which I love,  but it down right seems every single person has had at least 1 problem with it,  but I seem to be the singled out individual,  I have yet to have even a game (other than Oblivian but thats the game code) crash on me.  Everything runs fantastic and I have even had the thing on for 12hrs straight before,  It just seems to me like I have the only Flawless unit out there lol.
  
  On Tuesday I also picked up Suikoden V for PS2.  I plan on it being my next RPG that I will Get into this weekend after my Exausting work week,  All my friends are telling me I have to buy it,  so I did heh.
  
  Side Note Not Game Related:
  I live in Ontario and with that comes Maple Leaf Fanboyism,  its just there,  And sinse we did not make the playoffs I decided to do something nice for my Father and bought us Tickets to see the Toronto Marlies in the AHL Playoffs (the Leafs farm team)  So we get to the Ricoh last night for the game and the Power is out.....Greaaaaat.  We have to sit and wait in the parking lot with the Pre Game show on the radio for updates,  (keeping in mind 5000-6000 people are doing this) and at 8:30 the announcement comes the game is not cancelled and moved to Thursday Night.  the second that hit,  about 2000 cars in the lot Started up and Yep.  The lot is just a mess.  They Sealed off the Exits and kept 1!!!!!  1!!!!! Gate open to exit.  You can imagine the frustraition and how long it took us to get out.
  
  Anyway now the game is tonight,  However Now its at the Air Canada Centre where the Leafs Play,  which actually makes me happy.  The ACC may very well be the best Arena in Hockey,  its New,  And there is not 1 bad seat inside,  And now not to mention the fact that 5000-6000 people basically get Free for all Seating in a 20.000 person arena.  Makes me very happy
